I think a combination of student discount+HDFC card is possible, has anybody else done it? Perhaps not through Apple's website but at an official Apple distributor. 5 hours ago, KunjanPSD said: I think only one of the student and HDFC discount is applicable. @Bird Bird Bird knows better about it. You can get both, but the limit of student discount varies by store. Some give 3%, some 5%. HDFC discount is on top of that. Getting an M1 in retail is difficult though. When I was in the market for one, almost called every Apple distributer across Delhi NCR, and no one had the 256/8 in stock. I could find 1-2 instances of 512/8 in stock though. Apple's online site gives flat 10% off as student discount (no HDFC offer). You can use your CC to pay to get extra points on top of that, and generally delivery happens in less than 2 weeks.

Ahh right, so where did you buy it from? I thought student discount would be the same as Apple's online site. 10% is it? I'll have to see then if 10% from the website works out better than student discount in store+HDFC. I think Logix has a store, plan to go to that one now that the DLF Mall of India store is closed. I want to get the 512/16 configuration. If you have the names/phone numbers of any other distributors, can you share? I wanna try get the best deal possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They generally don't pick up calls, and when they do, they act as if they're doing a favor talking to you. I found all the numbers via Apple's site. There's a WHERE TO BUY section. Just input your pincode, and it'll list all options in Delhi NCR. Edited April 13, 2021 by Bird Bird Bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway even with the 512/16 in mind, there's a 5000 rupee difference between the 7-core vs 8-core GPU options. Idk if its worth it. I'll try and call Logix once and see whats up. If not, 10% flat on Apple's site seems okay. Thats a fairly decent discount on a heavy purchase like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of them tried to sell me Intel variants over phone when asking for M1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin was also looking to buy an M1 Air last week and the store guy told her that the HDFC cashback is only applicable on the Intel version and not M1 version. These guys will do anything to clear their inventory. Then I had to go and teach him his job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logix store doesn't have any macbooks in stock, will need at least 10-15 days. 3% student discount, 6000 HDFC. Select Citywalk store will call me back with the price, but the dude on the phone was super confused when I said I want the 16GB model lol. Apple's site is looking to be the best option lmao, just choose congif. and colour, and 10% flat discount should be fine. Still I'll just see if the two stores call me back before I pull the trigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battery life also suffers. Swivel apps aren't super polished. Camera quality is strictly average. I get the concept, but the execution needs a couple of iterations to improve, which won't happen now.
